This was my motivation in buying a larger drive. If installed now, it solves redundancy issues but is not a true permanent solution. Software raid with different sized drives has a few more steps, I guess, with formatting, but this is not a big deal, is it? With time, though, enough money will be gathered to buy a matching larger drive ($177), and hopefully more. When that time comes we can move to faster drives as Vince has suggested. The 160gb drive had a great price point, and it really isn't that bad, is it?
It is this kind of attitude and your lack of sound technical knowledge from which you make hard-headed assumptions that really angers me. This makes me question if I really want to continue contributing to this group.
Granted I make a lot of stubborn decisions too, but I believe I have the technical correctness to back it up, so I am correct at least 95% of the time.
It is inherently problematic that we continue to attack each other personally like this. Let us meet in person for lunch after finals and try to work this out once and for all.
